Not all the presidents seem to be on the same page as the Fed chairman,” said Drew Horter, chief investment officer of Tactical Fund Advisors, in Cincinnati, Ohio.

“There’s going to be churning, there’s going to be consolidation. The market is historically at very frothy valuations as we head into lower volume months of the summer,” Horter said.
